The Guardian – Compact Size. Acrylic Sound. Unstoppable Control.
Built for the serious hunter who demands precision, durability, and real-world performance, The Guardian combines the best of two Slayer favorites — the compact, backcountry build of the Lil’ Warrior and the elite, high-performance acrylic mouthpiece of the ArchAngel.
This is the first Slayer bugle tube to bring acrylic to a compact profile. That means tighter control, louder notes, and crisper tone — all without sacrificing mobility or stealth. Whether you’re slipping through dark timber, glassing open ridges, or locked in a standoff with a stubborn herd bull, The Guardian gives you the upper hand.
The Guardian vs the ArchAngel
What makes it different? Acrylic. The Guardian’s patent-pending acrylic mouthpiece delivers incredible back pressure and airtight control, giving you more volume, smoother octave transitions, and scary-realistic chuckles, lip bawls, and high-pitched screams. You’ll use less air, get better tone, and keep more in the tank for when it counts.
